Preconceptions are filters for Perception. 

When perceiving Reality we are not only bounded by our senses physical limits or our instruments intrinsic limits, but all our previous experiences, knowledge, prejudices, superstitions, taboos, etc. will act also as a boundary limiting what we can accept as "real" or not. The interplay between perception and "internal self" is very deep, some had said: "Perception is projection" as a way to succinctly express that deep interplay between what we can perceive and our preconceptions. Any approach to Reality that pre-empt empirical evidence because that empirical evidence contradict existing dogmas or preconceptions is subjective and dogmatic. Any scientific approach to Reality should always give precedence to fresh and consistent empirical evidence over ANY pre-existing dogmas, ideas, paradigms or whatever may be accepted in mainstream thinking or "common sense". There are multiple examples in the history of Science showing how pre-existing ideas tried to pre-empt new empirical evidence or new ideas: - A "classic" and very well known example of dogmatism is perhaps the Church reaction to Galileo's claims. But what is not very well known is that accomplished scientists had many times reacted in similar fashion to new ideas or facts: - Lavoisier, a very accomplished French scientist said: "Stones can't fall from the sky because there are not stones in the sky!" when presented with claims of meteorites, his "authority" claim denying the reality of meteorites delayed scientific progress in the very important study of meteorites. - Thomas Edison claimed: "Fooling around with alternating current is just a waste of time. Nobody will use it, ever." The modern world can't exist without alternating current. - Lord Kelvin, president of the Royal Society, claimed: "X-rays will prove to be a hoax", and also he claimed "Heavier than air flying machines are impossible." - Albert Einstein was unable to accept the statistical interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, his famous quote: "God does not play dice". - "Space travel is bunk" Sir Harold Spencer Jones, Astronomer Royal of Britain, 1957, two weeks before the launch of Sputnik. - Around 1969 Nobel Prize physicist S. Chandrasekhar, as editor of the Astrophysical journal, after receiving an article from Halton Arp presenting some empirical evidence wrote across its top left corner: "This exceeds my imagination" and sent it back without giving it to any referee. - In 1985 microscope physicists laughed at the idea of a surface tunnelling microscope, but in 1986 a Nobel Prize was awarded for the invention of the STM: surface tunnelling microscope. In a "race for understanding" in a given area, in equality of conditions, the people with better instruments usually will win that race but many times people less attached to pre-existing ideas are the ones making the breakthroughs, and not by chance usually young people are the ones making the big discoveries; they usually are not too much compromised with the prevailing mainstream ideas, methods or the "establishment". This struggle of the new ideas or facts against established dogmas(preconceptions) had been a constant in human history and specifically in the history of Science. If you search you will find many more examples of this almost universal reaction to new facts or ideas, but again any objective approach to reality must always give precedence to empirical evidence. The history of Science clearly shows that we should not get attached to much to any paradigms, dogmas or theories since that attachment will unavoidable lead to the pre-emption of empirical evidence when that evidence appear to contradict the cherished dogmas and that will be subjective/dogmatic and far from being scientific. Obviously the genesis of this post is rooted in Official Science incapacity to handle the reality of artificial reality, and that incapacity is clearly due to Official Science departure from objectivity: by being unable to accept consistent observational empirical evidence showing this reality to be false
